Velha Guarda is a Brazilian music genre that emerged in the 1950s and 1960s. It is characterized by a combination of traditional Brazilian rhythms, such as samba, choro, and baião, with modern jazz and pop influences. The genre is often associated with the bossa nova movement, as many of its leading figures were involved in both styles. Velha Guarda is known for its upbeat, lively sound and its use of improvisation. It is often performed in a small ensemble format, featuring instruments such as guitar, bass, drums, and percussion.
